This Is truly Infamous document. every line of
which brstles with deliberate plans and incite-
menis to transform evctOns in tho future into
scenes of riot and bloodshcd. An eviction scene
Is always more innammable occasion than a
public meeting. The police can always lind an ex-
cnSo for violence. Hero they warned not to ex-
efcise unusual forbearance, but TO seek ont suoh
opportunities for violence and to act upon them
without hesitation or delay. If n man locks his
door they are TO forco entrance and arrest him,
and such arrest IL TO bo the signal TO dsperse the
crowd assembled to Witness tho eviction. If syn
